Researchers proved that, heat powered adsorption refrigeration technology is very effective methods for reutilization of low-grade thermal energy such as industrial waste heat, solar energy, and exhaust gases from engines. But to make it commercially competitive with the well-known vapor compression and absorption refrigeration system, the processes require high rates of heat and mass transfer characteristic between adsorbate and adsorbent as well as externally supplied heat exchanging fluid. This paper reviews various techniques that have been developed and applied to enhance the heat transfer and mass transfer in adsorber beds, and also discuss their effects of the performance on adsorption system. A comprehensive literature review has been conducted and it was concluded that this technology, although attractive, has limitations regarding its heat and mass transfer performance that seem difficult to overcome. Therefore, more researches are required to improve heat and mass transfer performance and sustainability of basic adsorption cycles.

<p>The necessity of a higher data processing speed was crucial for the advances in computer science. There were created processors that needed increasingly more power, so that new methods were discovered and more complex systems were created in order to solve the cooling issue. In this paper, there are presented the trials performed on a mini refrigeration plant that used mechanical compression of Freon’s, designed to cool electronic components like microprocessors, microcontrollers, graphic stations, or in the case of local cooling in diverse areas such as bioengineering, optics and nanotechnologies. The refrigeration system was constructed as an experimental set-up and consists of the following: two mini heat exchangers, working both as a condenser and a vaporizer, which are made of circular micro channels, a refrigeration compressor, lamination valve which contains a circular nano channel and a micro filter. The experimental determinations have proven that, although such a system contains a small quantity of Freon, of the order of milligrams, it reaches temperatures of -44 °C.</p>
